240 ex. manifold ???

[Zsled]

I recently swapped tranny's on my 240 and in the process broke the studs on the original ex. manifold. The question is... can you replace the studs or do you have to replace the manifold all together? PLease HElp I need this fixed fast... I am having Z withdraws :disappoin

Use an "easy out". You can find them at most automotive stores. It's where you drill a small hole in the center of the stud then use a "screw" that has reverse threads on it. As you turn counter clockwise to loosen the stud the "screw" tightens. Be carefull and don't by a cheap one. The cheap one's tend to break thus leaving you between a rock an a hard place. Use some WD-40 to loosen the broken stud on the manifold. Good luck.
